513 | null | comment | bharath | 1,172,168,826 | So the basic premise of your writeup is you are trying to judge how smart people are based on what they submit to this site and the content of their comments. I am not so sure I agree with that. It seems to me that starting a company requires dedication, technical smarts and technical vision. All that a good comment or submission tells you is that the submitter spends a lot of time surfing the web and is articulate. Unless you have solid reasons to believe that the two sets of qualities are strongly correlated, I am not so sure you should be even consider using this as a metric. Having worked in Silicon Valley for some time now, I can say that some of the smartest people around here have inadequate language (and by implication -- commenting) skills. Quality of people's resumes are likely to provide a stronger indicator. | null | 189 | null | [

You'll also get to see everyone present on something. If someone is presenting on the same topic in which you want to create a startup then approach them. Chances are your on the same wavelength and you can discuss your ideas together. <p>Also the presentations give you a great idea of if a potential cofounder will be good at pitching to investors and give you an oppertunity to present about your own startup idea! | null | 538 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

But for most people the lower bound is about 22. One reason is that most people need to experience what a job is like to be sufficiently motivated to avoid it. Another is that few people are forceful enough at 19. | null | 494 | null | [

I have had a struggle finding cofounders that complement my style, skills, and ideas. (Any coders out there that want to talk, hah?). One thing I find missing from this list is that if you can't address these issues, or fore go these questions citing the fact that they will be addressed when the time comes (because coding is more fun) then you should rethink your partnership all together. I find it much more important to ensure that anyone I am involved with is available for open and comfortable communication about all areas of the business.

568 | null | comment | mrgordon | 1,172,187,062 | You make a good point, although it is my experience that MIT does not echo Paul's feelings with regards to programming languages. There is obviously the group of hackers at CSAIL (Sussman et al.) that swear by LISP and the functional paradigms in general, but almost every class that involves a large amount of programming is in Java. Even 6.001 is being phased out for courses taught in Python.<p>As a current undergrad at MIT, I find myself sometimes struggling to determine whether I agree with Kevin or not. It does seem that my greatest selling point is my knowledge and experience with specific programming languages like Java and not any background I have in algorithms, discrete mathematics, etc. I feel that these other tools will prove more useful over the long term, but it's sometimes hard to continue to feel that way when the need for a summer job forces one to put away the common lisp book to read javadocs. | null | 558 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

579 | null | comment | marckohlbrugge | 1,172,190,243 | A bit offtopic but, does stating your application is "Web 2.0-ready" really help? I'm tired of everyone calling their website web2.0-ready although most of the time it looks like they don't have a clue what they are talking about. It could be me though. | null | 577 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |
578 | null | comment | marckohlbrugge | 1,172,190,050 | I don't know about the US, but in my country (The Netherlands) nobody has ever heard of Craigslist but a lot of people DO know eBay. I'm pretty sure this is in the same in many other countries and perhaps in the US too.<p>Sure, Craigslist may earn more with their fees.. but eBay can (easily) change their system to reflect Craigslist's.
Also, eBay could change their fees to reflect Craigslist's if they want. | null | 510 | null | [

588 | null | comment | danw | 1,172,195,945 | If the startup fails then you'll have been working with other passionate people who are likely to be willing to give it another try. Perfect for cofounders.<p>There are online cofounder finder services available such as http://www.buildv1.com/ but I have yet to hear of any succesful partnership coming out of them. Best to stick with people you know in the real world it would seem. | null | 557 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |
580 | null | comment | jbruin | 1,172,191,310 | With Craiglist (San Diego) I've managed to find two apartments, two jobs, and a plethora of unnecessary information that titillates my mind. All I got from eBay was a Lord of the Rings replica sword for my boyfriend, and I had to pay for it. Hands down, Craiglist rocks...although my girlfriend would agrue in favor of eBay as she is an aficionado of coach handbags and can find them for cheap. | null | 510 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |
575 | null | comment | leoc | 1,172,189,389 | I can't find the reference now, but I *think* I've just read something suggesting that the install process for an Apollo applet will involve an "install-this-application?" confirmation dialog followed by a download of 30 seconds or so. If so then Apollo's less promising than I hoped. That kind of install may be low-friction by desktop-app standards but it doesn't compare to the ease of starting a browser-based AJAX or Flash application. (Consider how easy it is to use maps.google.com for the first time.)<p>Surely it will at least be that Apollo applications will run untrusted by default, and that an already-installed app will start automatically whenever you take your browser to the URL you downloaded it from? | null | 364 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |
581 | null | comment | simon | 1,172,191,752 | This is a great book. All of the advice in t is either excellent or at least thought-provoking. Highly recommended.<p>Now, that being said, I did order a dead tree version through the Lulu.com store (very nice store, by the way) and while I love the construction and print quality of the book, the internal page layout and typography were awful. And the choice of a glossy black cover shows annoying fingerprints after just a few minutes.<p>I'm glad that I've read this book because it has given me motivation to start something. I'm trying out a couple of ideas right now to see which one I like and will run with.<p>So, thanks to the guys at 37Signals, but have someone who knows what they're doing, help you with layout next time! | null | 574 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

591 | null | comment | danw | 1,172,196,719 | It's good to see someone wondering about what to do to encourage younger founder in the more risk averse EU. Events like Barcamps and future of web apps are doing a great job of raising awareness and bringing the local startup communities together. <p>One of the most interesting problems that Saul has raised is finding the right people to fund. As YC has found an application form and interview don't always give you the best way of judging a team. Demos could provide a solution, as could recommendations & references. YC news is a very interesting solution, which I'll be keen in seeing the outcome of.<p>Has anyone got any ideas about how to find the right founders to fund? | null | 535 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

598 | null | comment | chandrab | 1,172,198,959 | Having been part of a few startups before, I it definately easier to do it with a partner(s). I'm currently doing my latest startup alone - but I dont' consider myself alone. I have two great programmers, even though they are working for me...I treat them like co-founders, we discuss everything not just technical issues, business model and even their love-lives! I'm also getting assistance from my network, people I've worked in the past with and people I've looked up to during my professional career. Each one of these guys have stepped up to mat and offered me guidance each step of the way. Some mentors I talk almost on a daily basis...I treat these guys like board members/quasi-founders also because without their guidance and support I'm sure it would be much harder. Startups are not built alone - they are built by teams...these teams are composed of people who may not be traditionally considered co-founders but I'd argue they are. So I respectively disagree with YCombinator shying away from one person startups - they really need to consider the entire infrastructure.
